Power Comes with Responsibility

I have been following Once Upon a Time religiously and all I can say is that I love that movie. One thing I learn from the movie is that 'Magic always comes with a price'. This is similar to what I am about to write about.

Power = Magic
Price = Responsibility

If you look at those two quotes; 'Power comes with responsibility' and 'Magic always comes with a price', they both have similar meaning. Both have a very similar definitions and that both have a very similar message. RESPONSIBILITY.

If you look at the second quote, you will see that whenever you do something you will be accountable for it. When you decide to act, the implications you have to bear. Same goes with the first quote where power is an act and upon acting you are accountable for your actions. You are entitled to decide whether or not to act and you are entitled to act accordingly and having done that you are responsible for your actions. Similar, isn't it?

Everyone wants power. Everyone wants magic. But not everyone is willing to bear the consequences or the duties behind them. They are not willing to be accountable for their actions. We will come across these kind of people in our lives and sometimes, we are one.

The thing about power and magic is that they are everyone's desire. Everyone wants to be in power and if possible have magic. That is a fact. No one would reject being in power unless he is someone who does not give a damn about living. But, before taking in the power, ask yourself are you willing to be responsible for all actions? and are you willing to carry extra work or burdens than everyone else? If you are not, then please, your time is not now. Maybe later.

Just one simple question before accepting the power

are you willing to be responsible and be accountable for all actions and doing more work than everyone else?

However, if you have answered 'No' to the question above, you must make sure that you really are unable to do it. If you are scared, there is in fact a reason for you to just try it out because you will never know your capability is because being scared and not prepared are two different stories. If you are scared, break that and try it. You'll never know. Maybe you will do great at it. But, if you think you are not prepared then get yourself prepared to be someone with power and is willing to carry those responsibilities.

p/s: I have no idea what I am blabbering about.

Disappointment

The funny thing about life is sometimes you have faith that everything will turn out well but it turned out to be otherwise and sometimes the wrong thing isn't really your fault and that you have tried all your best to get the end result done. It is frustrating when your hard work turned into rubbish at the end.

Well, I cannot really say that it is rubbish but I am disappointed by the end result. I really thought everything has turned out well but truth is, it is not. It is more disappointing when it is not something that you do but carelessness of some people. It really was not a big task. 

I consider myself to be very detailed. I check everything very detailed. Almost all assignments for class, I will be the last person who checked and submit the end result. So far, nothing has been done wrong, formatting at least. This is because I made sure that everything is in order and nothing extraordinary is present in the assignment. However, I have let this go TWICE and guess what...both of the times something just went really really wrong! 

It is disappointing especially when you know that you could have done that and if you did then nothing would go wrong but when you have given faith to another and something like this happen. I honestly have no idea how to nicely put what I feel into words right now. 

At the time I saw the end result, I felt like crying. I really was about to cry. But, taking into considerations the surroundings at the time, I kept myself cool. I was trying hard not to drop a tear. I am sure that this error will haunt me for a long time till I get over it. 

It is just disappointing!
I am disappointed.

Love,
Marl

Do You Really Feel Happy

Today, as I drove my car to get my brother from school I suddenly have some thought about something and one major question came to my mind

"AM I HAPPY NOW?"

and then I realised that I don't think I am happy right now.
I may be laughing around and being happy but the truth is
I don't think I feel happy right now.

I don't think I am happy right now.
Why is that?
What is that?
I have family who loves me to death
I have friends who care
I have friends who can make me laugh
I have friends who know what to say at the right time

So, why am I not happy?
Why?
This is some serious question to be answered.


For You


2013, the year full of hopes
New hopes, new dreams, new goals
Honestly, I have nothing new
I didn't have new hopes
I didn't have new dreams
Nor did I have new goals.

I am just me
The one who don't talk much
The awkward one
The one who cared too much
When you...

Its been long since I first cared
Its been years since I first cared
But of course, who am I for you to even notice

It happened many times
...and I feel like I am used to it
But sometimes my self-esteem just crushed bit-by-bit
Because you left me hanging to think 'Did I do something wrong?'
'Did I say something wrong?' 'Why did everyone do this to me?'
'Am I annoying?'

All sort of questions come to mind
You might not see it, people might not see it
My friends might not see it
My close friends might not see it
But, I know. I know my insecurities.

It just hurts
When you tried so hard
When you tried to help
When you tried to care
But, people just don't notice

It hurts when I tried
It hurts when I did
It hurts when you didn't even try
Try to say 'Thank you'

It hurts the most when I care but you don't
Don't even reply.

Love,
Marl
